Palmeiras loanee saves two penalties in one match for Portuguesa, watch | OneFootball

The goalkeeper Kaique Pereira, on loan from Palmeiras to CD Nacional in Portugal, had a special night last Monday, saving two penalties and contributing to his team's 3-1 victory over CD Tondela.

CD Nacional won the match after a comeback. Kaique had already saved a penalty in the first half when his team conceded a goal and fell behind. After saving the second penalty in stoppage time, Kaique launched the ball into attack and saw the team turn the game around: 2-1, with Paulinho Bóia. Later, with another penalty, Nacional extended their lead and confirmed the victory.

The performance earned him the Man of the Match award. With a loan agreement to the Portuguese team until mid-year, Kaique, who also stood out in Palmeiras' youth team for saving penalties, praised the achievement.

“It is the result of a lot of hard work and dedication. This award belongs to the entire group for the sacrifice made today. With one player down for much of the game, we managed to surpass ourselves. We worked a lot on penalties with our coach, and thank God, I was successful in the shots and managed to help the team,” said the goalkeeper.

Before being loaned to CD Nacional, Kaique renewed his contract with Palmeiras until 2030.
